I think we have finally found the ideal person to be mayor of Los Angeles, if 
only for a term, to begin to turn this city around.  For more information on 
the campaign to encourage Huell to run and get his name on the ballot checkout 
the following website: http://www.primenet.com/~mhigby/huell.htm.

Huell is absolutely right to go after the City of Long Beach, which plans to 
give away the Long Beach Naval Station to the Communist government of China.  
What the Long Beach City Council has done is not unique - its akin to many 
sweetheart deals the LA City Council has made, the MTA, etc.

Huell is not just a populist who stands up for good government.  He has a true 
grasp of the history, the meaning, the spirit and the people, ALL THE PEOPLE, 
of Los Angeles.  He's done programs about areas and people in the city that 
no other journalist would touch.  Huell is just as comfortable with 
young Latinos - "kickin' it with some homeys" at a low rider car show - as he 
is shooting the breeze with mostly elderly Anglos at a reunion of retired 
firefighters or sharing a meal in the home of an African American family.

More than a television personality, Huell studied history at the University of 
Tennessee and once served on the staff of US Senator Howard Baker.  He is also 
honorary president of the California PTA.  

Huell is a longtime resident of Hollywood.  

It might be too late to get Huell's name on the ballot, but maybe we could 
interest him in running next time (in 2001).  Huell could inspire the city to 
work together, and for the people.
